its the little things

acty tdy, i was rather touched by what others may seem as an insignificant act. during flag raising ths morning, i was lip singing the national anthem cuz i cant sing with a voice like that. then, i dunno if my mouth was open for too long or what but sudd my throat got very itchy. YES. in the middle of the national anthem!

cuz i din want to distract the others, i tried to suppress my cough but it was really very tough. i managed to hold it in till after the pledge and i started to cough persistently. for those who know me, you'll know that my coughs are those very chesty kind and rather loud. but i swear i really tried my best to cough as softly as i can. but what touched me was that ppl in front like jobina and xianghong turned ard to ask me if i was alright, youbao and biwen behind offered me water while sock hian from the neighbouring line also asked me if i needed lozenges. when i went back to class, huishan also asked if i was okay. well, ppl may think that these are very minor acts of kindness and if anyone was coughing like that, they would also turn ard to ask if that person needed any help. to me, it was more than that.

these were acts of kindness that i would remember. its a special feeling to noe that the ppl ard you care for each other and there are ppl out there who care for you. so to all those who care for me, i really want to say a big THANK YOU. =]

when i was having my 3 hour break today, Mr Tan Tui Gee came to a few of us who were studying in the canteen and asked if we wanted DURIANS! yes, DURIANS in SCHOOL. haha. we were amused and shocked at the same time but kindly refused. then afterwards, we saw a few teachers gathering at the table with the durians and eating it heartily. it was rather interesting cuz i dun think you get to see ppl eating durians in school that often. but den again, it showed the family spirit that we have in our school. its really heartwarming. =] haha, i love DHS. ya, i noe we do complain here and there but i think that the ppl here are GREAT. =] plus, i think the teacher-student relationships in our school is really casual and everyone here are like friends. =]
sometimes, we will ask ourselves, if given another chance, will u still choose to come to dhs to study? and i found out that acty, for most of us, the ans is YES. if not for DHS, i dun think i'll get to meet such great ppl and have such wonderful friends. =]

once again, i'll like to say a big thank you to all who helped me along the way or made my life so much more interesting.

P.S: now coolktime is having the singing competition thing and the song for this week is "Balloons" by DBSK! well, i'm glad to hear that there are so many DBSK fans out there in singapore yet, i'm rather troubled cuz the girls calling in to sing aren't exactly pitch perfect.haha.
sometimes u do get rather agitated when ppl kinda spoil a song that u really like but i forgive them cuz i can hear their burning passion for dbsk in their voices. =]

oh, they just played "Geurigo...Holding back the tears" by DBSK! its a really nice song and i'm sure ivy wil agree with me. hahaha.
